Support NeoGAF

[zewone]

This is pure hyperbole and I'm baffled Bungie even listens to this, 10% of the Destiny population or less has enough funds to constantly reroll for god teir perks.

This is hyperbole.

You pulled out a percentage from nowhere.
I'd assume most people would say it was much higher than 10%.

 

[Hawkian]

Are we supposed to use it just before a boss? I thought that would be too fast.

My brain is like, struggling to figure out what you could mean here, lol

the nerf should affect how effective the drop chance is when used to kill bosses too close together (i.e. if you just suicide kill a boss multiple times a minute)

How long it is between using the coin and killing a boss shouldn't matter at all... I can't imagine how it could really.

I tend to pop them right at the beginning of a strike just so I don't forget.

 

[CouchMaster]

Used 6 3oC's on 6 strike bosses, got Suros V2 and Third Man v2 helm for hunter. I'd say pretty good odds.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Luke mentions NeoGAF like 10min in! HYPE

makes ya proud to be apart of this community

Spoiler

and you didnt forget about neogaf by the time your 4 month waiting was up lol

 

[Kenzodielocke]

...I did ask this.

Then I have to listen to the podcast later, only read through the bullet points.

 

[Namikaze1]

Done! Just need to wait for Armsday reset now for both Hunter and Warlock.

Nami,do you have some raid checkpoints going on that I can grab fragments from?

 

[Kadey]

All SEXY raid in 30.

And Deathdancer is 400+ likes and counting. https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Detail?itemId=151237337

 

[Deku Tree]

I hope they make ToO much harder to do carry trains. Like reward people based on their individual performance. And I hope they don't lock Primarily PvE weapons (like elemental primaries) behind ToO or god tier PvP in general.

Would not be playing Destiny if not for DGAF


Also Luke confirmed Marketing Expert

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Is the gunsmith level shared across the account so I can do the weapon field tests with my other characters too for leveling up the gunsmith?

 

[SenatorBot]

For anyone bad at PVP, use the legacy 6 v 6 to do your bounties/quests on.

Everyone is bad there for some reason.

 

[bitsurugi]

Finally done with the stupid farm quest on my titan, abilities for solar were a breeze (1hit melee non stop recharge ftw), but that darn mat farming... anyone want to buy some helium?

My gang:

- 307 titan
- 304 hunter
- 302 warlock (still has to do story )

 

[Robdraggoo]

You need to put a trigger warning in there for Black Spindle PTSD.

what is this black spindle of which you speak, some kind of new weopon that was
TOO DAMN HARD TO OBTAIN!
*heavy breathing*

gotta calm down........

ok, im good now.

No. It's individual.

 

[Namikaze1]

Nami,do you have some raid checkpoints going on that I can grab fragments from?

Have none for fragments. Only checkpoint I have is Oryx.

 

[Dead]

Just checking

I remember reading 3oC doesn't work on Bond Brothers?

Yes no?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Also Trials is back this Fall.
For those who wondered.

 

[Klyka]

Have none. Only checkpoint I have is Oryx.

Does anyone else have any checkpoints for me to jump into?

 

[MrAnderson]

Anyone doing the raid soon? Or the exotic sword quest? Or CoO?

 

[Ambitious]

What's the bloody point of adds spawning after killing the boss (Taniks)? I'd like to put my goddamn controller down, but I can't if it keeps on vibrating.

I'm wondering why that hasn't been fixed either. Seems like a dumb bug.

Options > Vibration off > Profit

Isn't the timer based on when you last used a coin, not when you last killed an ultra?

Like I pop it, kill get +%, kill draksis, pop it again immediately and that is less of a boost due to quick turnaround time?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Sword transfer trick works, skipped 25 pvp / 50 major kills and straight to farming materials + ability kills.

[Tecnniqe]

Awesome, shotguns are getting another re-look and probably rework

 

[Tovarisc]

Fun to kill them with that cannon for some extra engrams, usually get extra blue.

Well, I guess that's a good reason.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Cool! Just to confirm. I move over a sword on my main who has completed an exotic sword quest. I then level up said sword and Shaxx will tell me just to farm for that sword?

 

[Jafku]

Is anyone doing a tier 3 Court of Oryx. I need that to complete my quest?

 

[Hawkian]

Like I pop it, kill get +%, kill draksis, pop it again immediately and that is less of a boost due to quick turnaround time?

Uhhhhhh. You then also kill draksis again immediately, so... there's no way to figure this out that I can think of, and it also shouldn't matter. If it's when you pop a coin, then since I've used one at the beginning of strike it's a full strike before using another. If it's when a boss dies, popping a coin at the beginning of a strike means it's still a full strike before another boss dies.

 

[neoism]

Just gonna leave this here http://kotaku.com/we-talk-to-the-director-of-destiny-the-taken-king-1733054833

The Taken King was in development for longer than people think—it actually started months before the first game. Even before vanilla Destiny came out, Smith says, they were looking at ways to make the story better, improve missions, and so on.

They knew from the beginning that Destiny’s original leveling system was flawed. “When that went out the door, we were not thrilled with it.”

 

[Tecnniqe]

Its nothing new that publishers and set time HAVE to be met even when the devs are not happy. Its usually out of their direct control

 

[Robdraggoo]

Rerollin was one the worst things to happen in how.

Next to ascension

Good to hear, anything to avoid playing shitty crucible.

 

[nowai]

I need details now.

You still have to do the initial quest for your first sword, but you can transfer the other two from alts to skip that part.

 

[shem935]

I said damn at that exotic sword uppercut. One shotting majors left and right.

 

[Dave_6]

I need details now.

Yeah, this.

Bought my new iphone today DGAF. And I pick up my puppy tomorrow. And I just got my legendary sword. Today has been a good day.

Here's a pic of the little guy, the fiancee wasn't a fan of Dinklepup so we went with Goku.

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I need details now.

Give the 2nd and 3rd sword from your alts to your main, who should have already done the quest. As soon as you level up the swords past 280 and fill them up the bubbles, talk to Shaxx and he'll give you the quest to farm mats and get ability kills, skipping the pvp/majors part.

 

[Diprosalic]

just got a 7.0 K/D with sniper and last word and my chaperone bounty went DOWN! how? almost lost 20%

i was super excited to see how far it's done and was super dissappointed. what did i do wrong?

I've been using 3oC's on the end strike boss and when I do, they don't even drop as much loot as normal, much less an exotic. Anyone else noticing this? I'm literally getting a single blue off most bosses

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yup. Must be 280+ and all bubbles maxed out.

LiK where were you when I was brainstorming weeks ago! Sigh, now it is too late.

 

[R0ckman]

This is hyperbole.

I'd assume most people would say it was much higher than 10%.

That's right on target for almost all of the statistics I've seen, the last recent one showed that only 10% of the players across the platforms that raided last week beat the raid, there was also only less than 20% of Destiny players even completed a raid on PSN as of around April/May this year. Half the time I don't run into any of the Crucible issues everyone on here does. The only issues I've seen consistently that's really bad is the shot gun, buts that's been going on since vanilla release. How many players in the Destiny population have 3 toons to pile up motes of light and burn through them for over a dozen Xur engrams and rolls, and play them all in a weekly clock work fashion?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Very interesting discussion on 3oC by Luke.

There's a thread on reddit about bungie's hotfix breaking strike boss loot drops.
